Duchess Macy saw her husband looking at her when she opened her eyes.
"Did I fall asleep?" Duchess Macy asked in a dull voice. It was clear that something was bothering her and Duke Felix knew exactly what it was.
"You fainted." Duke Felix did not beat around the bush. It was much better to say the words directly, "The doctors said that you were stressed and maybe everything was just too much for you."
Duchess Macy was silent as she bit her lips. Yes, it really was too much for her but that was not something that was bothering her mind. "Is my brother really dead…"

Duchess Macy bit her lips as she fell silent. There were so many things that were bothering her and yet she did not know how to clear the air. "My mother…."
